DAIRY MAIDS DRILL.
The Young Ladies' Acquit Themselves

Quite q large crowd Of very nice people cor-
gregated in the National Rifles Hall last night
to witness the dairy maids drill, which was
being given by thirty..wo pretty Young ladies
Of Foundry NJ. T. Church for the benefit Of the
Fifteenth Street NJ. E. Church better known
as Mount Zion"). The church is making a
strenuous effort to cancel an indebtedness of
81, 500, and this entertainment was toward that
end. The programme commenced with
pianoforte solo by Miss Thompson; songs were
sung by Miss Kidwell, Miss Feltham, and Mr.
Mahoney. Miss Kidwelrs beautiful selection
was encored and responded to. Mr.. VIII
Robertson gave very fine exhibition of fancy
riding upon his star bicycle and received n
vast amount of applause. Then the dairy
maids, under the command Of Sergeant q. s.
Domer, Of the National Rifles, went through
number Of very pretty maneuvers, some of
them quite intricate, aud the manner in which
they were executed would shame even the
famous "Sarsfeld Guard" Refreshments were
served in the armory and more money was thus

Protection or Free Trade,

The Coarie-JoWnal may be accepted as
Democratic authority, and It says; "The
President stands with Mr.. Carlisle, Mr..
Morrison, and other revenue reformers.
He did all he could to carry the Morrison
bill in the last Congress, and will do all he
can to secure revenue reform in the next"
1t is a matter OF record that Mr.. Man
ming, who was really the principal adviser
Of President Cleveland, was decidedly in
favor of free trade, though, like other Dem
ocrats, he concealed bis real meaning under
the euphemism Of revenue reform.
ss..The people of the country must under
stand very distinctly that Democracy means
free trade. Whether the Democrats in their
next national convention will boldly avow
the doctrine, that is what they intend.
1t is the question for the people Of the
United States, more especially the working
men, to determine for themselves whether
they are willing to support party, to help
party into power, whose doctrines II car
ried into effect would place them as to
wages upon a level with European wage
workers.
The Republican party has always declared,
and its acts have been in consonance with
Its declarations, that the American work.
iDgman should be protected In his labor.

Infamous Doctrines,

pline. This discipline must and shall be i'm
proved until men can feel the weight of It,.
Men who come among us asking and receiving
the help of men of substance in their bust.
ness enterprises and yet voting against their
interests must be treated as public enemieg,-
H,rdM.
We extract the above from q leading
Democratic paper In North Carolina. The
meaning OF these words cannot be mis-
understood. Men who settle In North
Carolina, no matter what business enter
prises they propose and engage Ia, must
vote the Democratic ticket or be treated as
public enemies.
No other construction can be placed upon
this language. Party discipline must be
brought TO bear to such an sxtent that all
will be forced TO this or driven from the
country. The Democracy OF North Caro-
lima must see the handwriting upon the
wall as plainly as 1t appeared to Belshazzar
In his drunken feast before their papers
will publicly announce such infamous seuti-
ments as these-men must be treated as
public enemies because they dare to express
their opinions. That is what this language
means II 1t means anything, for these are
the concluding words of a long editorial in
which the editor declares that 1t is the only
way by which the state can be kept Demo
cratic.
Such sentiments expressed by a Demo-
cratic paper like the Herald are simply
damnatle and barbarous, and it Is probable
that they result from condition OF affairs
such as is shown to exist by the following
extract from the Indee-Appeal, one OF the
ablest and fairest Democratic newsp lpers

THE national debt of Great Britain was
$3,7l1 ,261 ,470 in 1886, and its population
about 35,000,0OO. Ours is considerably less
than one-third, while our population is
nearly double. Great Britain has 10 raise
more than hundred millions by national
taxation in excess Of the United States, no
part of which goes to the reduction Of its
great debt, while in our case hundred
millions annually goes to the payment of
our debt. Relatively speaking the burdens
of taxation are four times as great in Great
Britain as in the United States. and this
dlsproportion will increase more rapidly in

THE internal revenue collections at Dan

THE internal revenue collections at Dan
vile for the month of May amounted to
$40, ,l54.s9. OF this amount the tabacco tax
was $37,9ss.5S; the cigarette and cigar tax,
$3.50; liquor tax, S4,944.G0; special taxes,
S5,39G.l5; all other sources, $666.5G. This
does not include reports from the stamp
deputies at Martinsville, Abingdon, aud
Roanoke, which will probably amount to
5000 more. Most Of this amount is an
unjust and unnecessary burden upon one of
the chief agricultural productions OF the
state, and is taken from the people to helr
swell the surplus in the national treasury.
